La Tortuga: Reviews & Ratings
It was very busy so we waited a while for our food to go. The wait was worth it! I got a Torta Ahogada with Al Pastor. It was spicy and lived up to the name of drowned sandwich!
Best tacos in Monterey area! Authentic, no frills restaurant with amazing food and phenomenal service!
Service is amazing in this little joint. You know a restaurant is great when its full and this place was no exception. Had the Cubano torta which is loaded with all the meats they serve I believe and it was super good and filling. The wife ...
This place was very good to eat at, the decor and the atmosphere makes you feel like if you are in Mexico. The service is also very good, they check up on you very often and are nice. The food is extremely good, even food that I dont really like is very very good. It is a nice place to eat with your family.

Delicious authentic Oaxacan food is absolutely delicious here! No wonder the restaurant was FULL, standing room only. Hole in the wall are usually the best places and this place is a winner ...
Amazing Mexican food, authentic, large portions, and priced right! If I come through seaside again will have to stop to try more. Menudo was great. Chilaquiles were great both Red and Green sauce.. a must try in my opinion.
Stick to the Oaxaca page at the back of the menu. We may be spoiled because we moved here from San Diego, but we were underwhelmed by the carne asada burrito. The chicken mole was wonderful, as was the chocolate cake.
